Through a carefully crafted and resoundingly intimate practice of critical situatedness, Amber Jamilla Musser brings the critic into embodied relation with every scene of encounter. Animal bodies, maternal bodies, the bodies of strangers, and our own vulnerable bodies coalesce in this beautiful book to orient us toward the plurivocal and multisensory worlds always proliferating against colonial capture.”\u003c\/div\u003e - Julietta Singh, author of (The Breaks) \u003cdiv\u003e“Bringing together unexpected constellations of contemporary texts while experimenting with form and point of view, Amber Jamilla Musser holistically reenvisions how a \u003ci\u003ebody of work\u003c\/i\u003e can be stretched, massaged, and released in order to attune to the creative ways racialized, colonized, and queer bodies map and remap the embodied experiences of trauma and resilience. This thought-provoking, beautifully written, and creative work will reshape current conversations in Black studies, feminist studies, art criticism, performance studies, film studies, and beyond.”\u003c\/div\u003e - Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley, author of (The Color Pynk: Black Femme Art for Survival)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBetween Shadows and Noise\u003c\/i\u003e Amber Jamilla Musser theorizes sensation as a Black feminist method for aesthetic interpretation and criticism that uses the knowledges held by the body to access the unrepresentable. Thinking through Blackness, empire, and colonialism, Musser examines artworks ranging from Ming Smith’s \u003ci\u003eFlamingo Fandango\u003c\/i\u003e, Jordan Peele’s \u003ci\u003eUs\u003c\/i\u003e, and Katherine Dunham’s \u003ci\u003eShango\u003c\/i\u003e to Samita Sinha’s \u003ci\u003eThis ember state\u003c\/i\u003e, Titus Kaphar’s \u003ci\u003eA Pillow for Fragile Fictions\u003c\/i\u003e, and Teresita FernÁndez’s \u003ci\u003ePuerto Rico (Burned) 6\u003c\/i\u003e. She engages with these works from an embodied situatedness to grapple with the questions and sensations of racialization and difference that the works produce. Throughout, Musser rethinks how we consider the relationships between race, representation, and politics by dwelling in those spaces and concepts that elude Western norms of representation, objectivity, and logic. In so doing, she explores ways of being and knowing that exceed overdetermined parameters while offering a blueprint for sensing, imagining, and living otherwise.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments  ix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction.
